Interface fatigue-rated load cells have extremely low moment sensitivity, more

A fatigue-rated load cell from the Interface Model 1000 series

Durham Instruments supplies an impressive selection of industrial solutions by Interface Force Measurement in Canada. This includes the Model 1000 series of fatigue-rated load cells, which provides 300 per cent safe overload, extremely low moment sensitivity of 0.1 per cent per inch, and higher fatigue life among other great advantages.

With many configurations and variants, every load cell in the Model 1000 series offers up to 100 million fully rendered cycles.

Tested to meet high standards

These fatigue-rated load cells are a major benefit for applications in a wide range of industries. Durham Instruments recommends them for use in the general manufacturing, aerospace, automation, food-processing, forestry, medical, military, mining, packaging, power-generation, alternative-energy, and transportation sectors and in research and development.

The Interface team inspects and tests the gauge sensors in these load cells and certifies them to comply with the manufacturer’s stringent standards. Every unit can measure a wide variety of weights, from one to 1,000,000 pounds. Other major features and benefits of these fatigue-rated load cells:

• 0015 perc cent per degree Celsius of temperature effect on output;
• Barometric compensation;
• Capacities from 1¼ to 225 kilonewtons;
• Eccentric-load compensation;
• Low deflection;
• Optional E74 NIST traceable tension and compression calibration;
• Performance of up to 0.03 per cent;
• Proprietary Interface temperature-compensation strain gauges; and
• Shunt calibration.

Options are also available for second-bridge, third-bridge, and overload protection. Interface highly recommends the base, and other options include connector protection, standardized output, a transducer electronic sheet, custom calibration, multiple bridges, special threads, a dual diaphragm, a special temperature range, various cable lengths, and a connector added to the cable.

Among the connector options are an integral cable of three metres, a PT02E-10-6P bayonet connector, and a PC04E-10-6P screw-type connector. There are various accessories available as well, including a mating connector, mating cable, loading hardware, and other devices.

Interface manufactures many other lines of load cells in addition to the Model 1000 series. For instance, Models 1010, 1020, and 1032 are alternate series of low-profile, fatigue-rated cells, and other popular units include the 1600 Gold Standard and the WTS 1200 model.
